Our application process
If your resume passes the initial screening stage, you will be invited to participate in up to five stages of assessment, with progression dependent on your performance at each stage:
We value the time and effort you invest in your application. Regardless of the outcome, we are committed to providing feedback on your performance throughout the assessment stages. We aim to share feedback within 2 weeks of your interview.
A sample process and questions from previous cycles can be seen here. This will be updated soon for the 2027 programme.
Assessment
At Marshall Wace, we are looking for highly numerate, lateral and independent thinkers who can also work effectively in a team. Our testing is designed to help us asses your skills and find out more about the way you think. After our initial CV screening, candidates will be invited to complete an in person assessment at a centre local to you.
Later interview stages will assess you on a range of technical and soft-skills to help us ensure that you are the right fit for us and that we are the right fit for you.
These tests and interviews are intended to be personal to you and, by completing them you are agreeing to not disclose or discuss any of the information outside of Marshall Wace employees.
